KLA vs Portkey
Portkey is a strong AI gateway/guardrails layer with production features like RBAC, audit logs, and exports. KLA governs workflow decisions with approvals and evidence exports for audits.
Gateways make requests safer. Regulated audits ask for decision governance: who approved, what policy applied, and what evidence proves it.
For ML platform teams centralizing model access, routing, spend controls, and request-level guardrails.

Für wen diese Seite ist
Eine Einordnung aus Käufersicht (neutral gehalten).
For ML platform teams centralizing model access, routing, spend controls, and request-level guardrails.
Wofür Portkey tatsächlich ist
Basierend auf ihrer primären Aufgabe (und wo es Überschneidungen gibt).
Portkey is built for the gateway layer: routing requests across model providers, applying guardrails, standardizing access, and exporting logs for downstream uses. It also positions enterprise admin controls (like RBAC and audit logs) as part of its production stack.
Überschneidung
- Both can sit in a regulated stack: gateways govern requests; control planes govern business decisions and approvals.
- Both can contribute evidence. The question is whether you're exporting raw request logs or a deliverable-shaped evidence bundle for audits.
- Many teams use both: Portkey for provider access/routing and KLA for decision-time approval gates and evidence exports.
Worin Portkey exzellent ist
Erkennen Sie, was das Tool gut macht, und trennen Sie es dann von Audit-Deliverables.
- Gateway pattern: filter/fix/route requests to multiple model providers.
- Centralized guardrails and routing policy at the request layer.
- Enterprise administration features like RBAC/audit logs and log exports (plan/edition dependent).
- Centralizing model access controls (e.g., cataloging/allowlisting models) at the platform layer.
Wo regulierte Teams noch eine separate Ebene benötigen
- Decision-level oversight: an enforceable approval gate for business actions (not just request middleware).
- A clear separation between platform audit logs (admin/config changes) and workflow decision records (who approved an agent action).
- Evidence packs that bundle approvals, policies, sampling outcomes, and integrity proofs, not just request logs.
- Annex IV-style exports that map workflow evidence to required documentation sections.
Out-of-the-box vs. selbst bauen
Eine faire Aufteilung zwischen dem, was als primärer Workflow ausgeliefert wird, und dem, was Sie über Systeme hinweg zusammenbauen.
Sofort einsatzbereit
- Request routing across providers, retries/fallbacks, and standardized access patterns.
- Request-level guardrails and policy enforcement.
- Centralized logging/observability and log exports for downstream systems.
- Enterprise admin features like RBAC and platform audit logs (plan/edition dependent).
- Centralized model governance at the access layer (allowlists/catalogs).
Möglich, aber Sie bauen es
- A workflow approval gate that blocks a high-risk business action until an authorized reviewer approves (with escalation and overrides).
- Decision records tied to business outcomes (what the reviewer saw, why they approved, timestamps, identity).
- A deliverable-shaped evidence pack export mapped to Annex IV/oversight deliverables (manifest + checksums).
- Retention and integrity posture for multi-year audit evidence (often 7+ years in regulated programs).
Konkretes reguliertes Workflow-Beispiel
Ein Szenario, das zeigt, wo jede Ebene passt.
Account closure workflow
An agent drafts a customer-facing account closure email and proposes account closure steps. A gateway can guard the request; regulated operations often also require a decision-time approval gate before a customer is contacted or an account status changes.
Wo Portkey hilft
- Standardize model access and apply request-level guardrails before the LLM is called.
- Log requests/responses centrally for debugging, analytics, and exports.
Wo KLA hilft
- Block the business action (send email / change status) until an authorized reviewer approves.
- Capture approval/override records as workflow decision evidence with context and rationale.
- Export an auditor-ready evidence bundle mapped to deliverables (manifest + checksums).
Schnelle Entscheidung
Wann jedes wählen (und wann beide kaufen).
Wählen Sie Portkey, wenn
- Your main problem is standardizing provider access, routing, guardrails, and spend controls.
Wählen Sie KLA, wenn
- Your main problem is governing workflow decisions and producing audit-ready evidence exports.
- You need role-aware queues and escalation for high-risk actions.
Wann Sie KLA nicht kaufen sollten
- You only need request routing/guardrails and are not producing audit artifacts from workflow decisions.
Wenn Sie beide kaufen
- Use Portkey at the request layer for routing and guardrails.
- Use KLA above the workflow layer for approvals, sampling, and evidence exports.
Was KLA nicht tut
- KLA is not a request gateway/proxy; it does not aim to replace your provider routing and middleware guardrails.
- KLA is not a model-provider abstraction layer.
- KLA is not a prompt experimentation suite.
KLAs Kontrollschleife (Govern / Measure / Prove)
Was „auditfähige Nachweise“ in Produktprimitiven bedeutet.
Steuern
- Policy-as-Code-Checkpoints, die hochriskante Aktionen blockieren oder eine Prüfung erfordern.
- Rollenbasierte Genehmigungswarteschlangen, Eskalation und Übersteuerungen, erfasst als Entscheidungsaufzeichnungen.
Messen
- Risikogestaffelte Sampling-Reviews (Baseline + Burst während Vorfällen oder nach Änderungen).
- Near-miss-Tracking (blockierte / fast blockierte Schritte) als messbares Kontrollsignal.
Nachweisen
- Manipulationssicherer, Append-only-Audit-Trail mit externer Zeitstempelung und Integritätsverifizierung.
- Evidence Room Export-Bundles (Manifest + Prüfsummen), damit Prüfer unabhängig verifizieren können.
Hinweis: Einige Kontrollen (SSO, Review-Workflows, Aufbewahrungsfristen) sind planabhängig. Siehe /pricing.

# RFP-Checkliste: KLA vs Portkey Verwenden Sie dies, um zu bewerten, ob „Observability / Gateway / Governance“-Tooling tatsächlich Audit-Deliverables für regulierte Agenten-Workflows abdeckt. ## Pflicht (Audit-Deliverables) - Annex IV-Export-Mapping (technische Dokumentationsfelder -> Nachweise) - Human-Oversight-Aufzeichnungen (Genehmigungswarteschlangen, Eskalation, Übersteuerungen) - Post-Market-Monitoring-Plan + risikogestaffelte Sampling-Policy - Manipulationssichere Audit-Story (Integritätschecks + lange Aufbewahrung) ## Fragen Sie Portkey (und Ihr Team) - Can you enforce decision-time controls (block/review/allow) for high-risk actions in production? - How do you distinguish “human annotation” from “human approval” for business actions? - Can you export a self-contained evidence bundle (manifest + checksums), not just raw logs/traces? - What is the retention posture (e.g., 7+ years) and how can an auditor verify integrity independently? - Show the difference between exporting request logs and exporting a decision evidence pack (approvals, policies, sampling, integrity proofs).
